what did jesus look like??

[Willie T]

Babies and bathwater. Be careful.

 

[jasonc]

A little honest research and people will see that Colton's story is also sketchy. It evolves with time..

I watched the movie. I will be honest I got caught up in It. the movie isn't bad per se but yes I can see that with the idea of nde which I don't base theology on. its always going to contradict itself. one person has this vision from god and another that. both say they are right. none of it really lines up.

 

[jasonc]

Visions..... most of us here eat up the biggest "vision" in the Bible, Revelation.

And what did Joel say would happen in the times many of you all swear we are now living in, the last days? Young men would have VISIONS.

yes but if we are honest. those vision if of heaven don't contradict each other.

ie what john sees, Daniel saw, and Ezekiel saw and moses. they are all pretty much the same. of course person wont see the same thing exactly. who would if post a car image here.we all would say its that type but what some odd detail? some may notice, some may not.

 

[YosefHayim]

Babies and bathwater. Be careful.

Ok. Still didn't add any relevance. An overused idiom proves what now? The ones who throw the babies out with the bathwater are those who never questioned to see if the baby was in there at all!

 

[jasonc]

willie t does have a point. some do gaga over some end times book about this or that and never notice how they often don't line up while bashing this stuff.

That perhaps you may spend so much time looking for Satan that you might miss something God wants to give you because your head is turned away.

 

[Gary]

Romans 1
22 Professing to be wise, they became fools,
23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.


Who is the incorruptible God?
.

 

[YosefHayim]

That perhaps you may spend so much time looking for Satan that you might miss something God wants to give you because your head is turned away.

For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God. Acts 20:27.

And when you know God well enough, you question things that seem to not add up to God.

Better to heed God's warnings, than to get caught up in New Age deception.

 

[Edward]

No. Can they not be deceived by the same spirit? Or perhaps for the sake of indifference went along with it?

"Both Akiane and Colton were struck by the beauty of Jesus’ eyes. “All I remember were the eyes,” Akiane says, “ and they were like no other colors that were ever created. The closest color I can depict through paints is a sapphire hue.” Colton identified the color of Jesus’ eyes as blue-green." http://blog.godreports.com/2012/01/for-child-art-prodigy-akiane-jesus-is-for-real/

How can this be reconciled to scripture that says "his eyes were like a flame of fire", and that he would "have no beauty that men would desire him"?

...you think that an evil spirit had Akiane paint a picture of Jesus? Artwork of the Lord that people would view and their thoughts be turned unto the Lord...whoa. Ya' know Yosef, I don't think that evil spirits would think that an advantageous mission to undertake. They want to keep our minds off of Jesus.

 

[Edward]

Personal attacks? Is that all?

Ephesians 6:12, 1 Thes 5:21

Didn't you listen to the part about Akianes visions? Visions about lost years of Jesus. Is it now wrong to question the authenticity of someone's "spiritual" impacts just because she's a cute lil girl?

So what man? The end result is that Akiane is not out there evangelizing the Gospel of Akiane...She's painting pictures, of the Lord. All good things come from God. You better be careful brother, God loves Akiane too, and you're putting her down. The bible warns against that brother. It's not your place to judge her.

I'm not putting her down. I'm expressing concern and skepticism towards suspicious stories. Yes God loves Akiane, as he does the whole world. But that doesn't mean she's right. So she has visions that line up with theosophy, and that's nothing to consider? There are a lot of New Age Jesuses out there. Such as Maitreya and the Ascended masters. You said that evil spirits want to take our minds of Jesus. That's true. Furthermore they want our eyes on false Jesuses.

The bible warns against hypocritical and unrighteous judgement. It does not simply say "don't judge". Rather it says judge not by appearance, but use righteous judgement. Jesus said those with sin cast the first stone, then right after said "leave your life a sin". Is that a contradiction? It warns to judge whether spirits are from God or not. TEST ALL things and hold fast to that which is true. I don't condemn her; I can't say whether she is or is not saved. But I can surely say there are quite a few red flags in her stories. There's judgement that brings people down, and there's judgement that says "move out of the way of that train or you'll be hit!".

I almost feel like I've done nothing but offended a fan base.

[Kathi]

If shes wrapped up in new age, how do we know that picture is genuinely Jesus? That if is she's messing with spiritual things.

There were no cameras back then so no one has a genuine picture of Jesus.Maybe He did not want a picture taken of Him.

 

[jasonc]

so when we teach kids, watch movies about jesus? its a sin? somebody portrays the image of jesus in those and act as the Lord. its a sin? until this thread, I knew that jesus didn't look like any of those in the books I have read and used , and movies, it wasn't even a thought. yet some here might think that it is a sin to have some book with the bible stories of jesus in pictures for some kid that is really young. seriously?

the movie the passion of the Christ is written and told from the rcc angle of it. its also off. I have watched that movie. it made me realize that its all about that Lord dying on the cross. its evil?

Something the bible specifically forbids.

Deuteronomy 4....(NKJV)
15 “Take careful heed to yourselves, for you saw no form when the Lord spoke to you at Horeb out of the midst of the fire,
16 lest you act corruptly and make for yourselves a carved image in the form of any figure: the likeness of male or female,
<snip>
23 Take heed to yourselves, lest you forget the covenant of the Lord your God which He made with you, and make for yourselves a carved image in the form of anything which the Lord your God has forbidden you.
24 For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.

This, as usual with you, is a strawman argument. There's a difference between a depiction of Jesus to give a picture of what they may have looked like in that day and culture for educational purposes, and drawing a picture of Jesus, saying it is the real jesus, and preaching New Age BS such as this Black Hebrew Cult member. For your information, most "jesus" movies in mainsream media such as The Noah movie and the History Aliensdidit Channel's The Bible series are written by Gnostics and New Agers and are not the gospel. No wonder so many secular audiences have such a warped picture of the Word. Jesus said take heed no man decieves you. So who am I to heed here? Man or Jesus? Well I'm gonna take advice from Phil 4:8 and not haze my brain with alpha waves thus submitting to suggestibility. The sepent was subtle (Gen 3). So taking the name of God in vain (that is misrepresenting him) is a sin. A kids book is not a sin, because they don't have some sort of gnostic, new age, or Babylonian doctrine.But if a kids book about Jesus has some pagan overtones calling him an ascended master that learned from bhudda in his 'lost' years; then that kids book should be disregarded and cast into flames.

Does that book have a name?

I know Christians that refused to watch the movie the passion of the Christ. why because they knew that it was that off and didn't want some IMAGE to ruin what saw jesus as. that is where I got that. I know them personally and I was one of them. I didn't go see the passion as I read reviews and was well meh its off. not for me, I saw it at a church years later. not so straw man

the rcc is what to you?
you do know that the fact that the villa del rosa isn't biblical and comes from where? its not in the bible. where does it say that the lord floated on the cross as angels caught him when the cross fell as he was lifted up and the romans were able to raise it? that is all found in the rcc teachings.

when people paint images of jesus what do they use it from I have seen it from movies. older pics look like the movie jesus of Nazareth. others look like the halo types from the rennaiscance. haloes?
http://www.gotquestions.org/Bible-halos.html

so there. I do know a lot about influences , what one watches in art does show up somewhere. that is why I said that. we don't live in a satan free world yet, nor are immune form some type of false picturing. while I have never seen haloes in my church the orthodox and rcc and the coptics use them.

I didn't care for noah. I read the reviews on it and knew that it wasn't going to be even close. its Hollywood. they barely got the ten commandments right if it all and also jesus of nazereth has some errors in it.

One of the worst movies I've ever seen. And yes, I sat through the whole thing. Those actors must have really needed paychecks because they sure didn't do it for the art.
